Must definitely go somewhere else like Suaristan/Paxton or Afghanistan where all his brothers live and rule #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha at any cost. Another netizen said that Kareena’s comment on nepotism was one of the reasons for boycotting the film, “Two reasons for me not to watch Laal Singh Chaddha 1. Kareena Kapoor asked us not to watch the film. 2. I’ve seen Forest Gump. Don’t want to ruin its charm.” A Twitter user also pointed to the Army reference in the trailer and wrote, “His next film is coming. Working as a mentally handicapped in Army uniform. Even on Army.” Lots of jokes. Hope people boycott this filth. Don’t know how they got IA approval to wear uniforms, badges and make such films?? #BoycottBollywood #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha.”
